To get the full tone potential from a guitar we recommend removing that material and upgrading it to bone. We start with a bleached cow bone blank and hand carve it specifically for your instrument. This organic material produces a rich top notch sound.
If you are noticing some string buzz, fretting out & tuning issues, you could be in need of a new nut. The next time you upgrade, make sure you get real cow bone & you will notice a world of difference.
Check out this video of a before & after on a full bone job we recently did. This Martin owner brought his guitar in for a setup, he mentioned he played lead & when we played it we noticed the sound just wasn't as good as it could be. Swapping out the synthetic nut & saddle to bone made a huge difference.
